Help us build the entrance to Jack Spain Stadium!
To commemorate the centennial birthday of Broughton High School in 2029, the Broughton Athletics Legacy Foundation is raising funds to build a new entrance to Jack Spain Stadium.
Broughton High School’s football stadium is being renamed to honor longtime former athletic director Jack Spain. The Wake County school board approved the new name of Jack Spain Stadium in 2021. Spain worked at Broughton for 27 years, including serving as athletic director from 1993 until his retirement in 2013. In 1986, Coach Spain joined Broughton as a physical education teacher and athletic trainer before becoming athletic director seven years later. His 20-year tenure as athletic director saw both athletic success as well as a commitment to producing athletes with high moral character.
“Coach Spain led our athletic program with integrity, honor and incredible dedication,” Elena Ashburn, Broughton’s former principal said at the dedication ceremony in 2021. “Under Coach Spain’s 20-year leadership as athletic director, Broughton’s athletic program was one of the top 10 athletic programs in North Carolina and our athletic department garnered more than 20 North Carolina High School Athletic Association state championships. Through this leadership approach, Coach Spain positively impacted the lives of countless students, staff and community members,” Ashburn said.
